Jewelry Excursions

I've been expanding into the jewelry realm lately. It's purely instinctual at this point—and I'm loving it. It takes me back to a place when I was about 10 years old and I was immersed in creating artful hair barrettes. I was a young dreamer, sure my creations would have a place in the world, never stopping to doubt it. I lost that somewhere along the way. But during recent years I've found that girl again. Now I'm reveling in experimenting with new mediums.

Here's a peek at a few in-progress pieces (using embellishments found in various places, along with my art positioned into beveled pendants and lockets). My vision is simple – I'm creating pieces I would jump at the chance to wear.
